Wednesday was Gill Edward’s birthday (21 again) and in celebration Miss Mews & Mr Love were joining us for dinner and the first chance to meet Gill’s boyfriend that she had been dating many months now. It must have been quite nerve racking for him meeting so many of us at the same time.
David was delightful and you could literally see the joy he brings into Gill’s life and how happy she has been since she met him.
We met in Café Boheme in Old Compton Street and then headed over to Balan’s for dinner. We had a table reserved at the back in what always looks like the VIP area anyway. As David had never been before we told him it was strictly for VIPs. Our waitress, Elizabeth Camilla, looked after us Royally. But with two Royal names one would expect so. It makes a refreshing change to have someone so attentive and really cared about ensuring we all had a fabulous evening.
The only problem I have with Balan’s is ever having something other than the Thai Chicken Curry, which is so divine I order it virtually three quarters of my visits there. That said if it’s early, they do make a fabulous Egg’s Benedict.
Talking of eggs, my boss bought me in some of his home chicken’s eggs. I was told the shells and whites are particularly thick and that as such they would be perfect for poaching. He was right. They were delicious for breakfast yesterday. Thanks Ian.
Back in Balan’s, our server had picked up on the birthday and Gill’s dessert came out with a light candle and all of the VIP section joined in singing Happy Birthday.
David then was very naughty and paid for us all. It was very sweet of him and will find a suitable thank you to put in the post. Most of all, it was great to celebrate Gill’s birthday with close friends and so very nice to see the man that makes Gill so very happy. Happy Birthday Best Girl.
